Employee

You are self-employed? Are you asking if you need to enter your business expenses on Schedule C---if that is the issue----yes, you do need to enter your expenses. If you claim self-employment income without your expenses, you will be artificially inflating your income for refundable credits----and you would not want to submit an incorrect return, right?

Yes I am self employed, yeah no I wouldn't want to do that at all. I was just wondering if I needed write offs with my income being so low
